Cover of Teaching with Heart, lanterns falling night skyWe’re in the home stretch. Summer and the end of the school year are just around the corner.  Before you turn your energies to planning  vacations, camps, and filling those long days of summer, please remember to thank your teachers.  Let them know how much you appreciate all their hard work and care over this past year.

While flowers, gift cards, and baked goods are great — consider giving a gift that lasts for years.  Written by and for teachers, Teaching with Heart is an inspiring collection of poetry and teacher reflections that speaks to what it means to be a teacher today. The ideal gift for your child’s teacher or that special educator in your life.

This book is a great gift for the teacher that has made a difference in your child’s life, or the principal that has made a difference in the educational process for your family, or your cousin who teaches in another state. The book will speak volumes about your respect for what they do each and every day. I will treasure this gift to my soul. – Theresa Kaufman, Founder and CEO, Kauffman Leadership Academy.

Not only is it a great book for teachers, Joe Nathan suggests it’s a great book for anyone who spends time with the young:

Here’s a suggestion for the summer. If you care about learning, teaching, schools or parenting, get a copy of Teaching with Heart… The book contains some of the most majestic, memorable writing I’ve ever read. Whether as a parent, grandparent or educator, you’ve probably experienced the exhilaration, and sometimes frustration, of working with youngsters. You’ll recognize, identify with and enjoy the complex array of emotions described here.  – Joe Nathan, Director at the Center for School Change. Read Nathan’s full review here.
